Tune: St Hugh
('Lord teach us how to pray aright')
*********
In your Communion we be
Met in spirit, soul, see
Though we not physically partake
Yet we join for your sake
You still give bread, wine spiritual
Though we are not met all
In person round your table here
You in our hearts appear
Maintaining love and friendship, care
You give us grace to bear
Till day comes soon, we pray, we meet
To worship at your feet
Give help and aid to solitary
Where we seem unfriendly
But for everyone's good it be
May we be wise, agree
To distance self in person, though
Still human kindness know
Our pain, hurt, feelings ne'er as deep
As you did toil and weep
In desert and Gethsemane
And on to Calvary
Then resurrection, sinner's Friend
Your mercies us defend

BRIAN HERE ~ Love the MUSIC ~ in the present CRISIS we all need to *Learn to pray more effectively ! * Love the tone & subject of your Pome ! In our Church Family we are all supporting the Elderly (70+) with shopping etc. Being An Evangelical Free Church we encourage all our Communicants to have their own Communion Service with Ribena (or Irn Bru) and a Bread Roll in their own Home. In our Church we believe in *The Priesthood ofAll Believers* so any Member can be a Celibrant @ *The Lords Table* ~ AMEN. Please PRAY for us this afternoon because we have decided to get married rather than postpone it for a year ~ we*ll soon be old enough to have to self isolate ! Our two Mums will be Matrons of Honour ~ PAPA will give Angela away (to Me !) and my DAD will be the best Man they can get on the DAY ~ SIMPLE. Angela is not phased ~ she just wanted us to be MAN & WIFE (in the sight of God) before we moved in together into *BETHANY* our First Houme ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Joy to You & Frivolous Fido !
Love in the Sprit Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛💛
I understand all this - we're all priests. I prepared some Communion 'wine' once - grape juice. It was out of date. Was I trying to poison them? They chucked it out, and dashed to shops in time to buy 'new wine' (more grape juice).
Arrghh! Bethany can mean 'house of affliction'. I looked it up! I'm in a Bethany with KP, no doubt about that! But it can also mean 'house of figs'.
Prayers for you at this time. I'm on my way to be your best man - if I was nearer. Or Fido will be 🙂
I was desperately waiting to get such stuff before dusk, some wings to aid not just me but us rise higher and closer to the Lord.
Nice work Orchidee
